> I have been craving red meat a lot lately.. don’t know why, but trying to fight it just makes me cranky (not pretty). So over the weekend I got a family pack of very inexpensive, thin-sliced, round steaks to stick in the freezer and use for things like lo mein, burritos, steak quesidillas, etc… nothing I had planned to use just as a big hunk of meat. However that was what I wanted – a big hunk of steak – so I went with what I had.

I marinaded the steaks in balsamic vinegar for 2 hours after piercing all over with a fork:

Then I spread a little crumbled blue cheese on top of each piece and rolled the meat up around the cheese, like this:

(pardon the chips in the background – we are getting ready to have house guests so I am stocking up on easy snacks for them)

I secured the rolls with some toothpicks I had soaked in water while the meat marinaded, and grilled the steak rolls (about 12 minutes TOTAL for medium on my grill) and served it with a veggie medley.

Home is Where the Food is

My Name is Keri.
After 15 years in the heart of the city, I've moved back to my hometown with my picky-eater husband, my ever-growing son, and my impossibly fluffy dog.
I love coffee, liquid cheese, and my family. I am a culinary school drop out.
I love to cook, love spending time with my family and friends, and REALLY love combining those things together with a nice pitcher of cocktails to lubricate the recipes and the conversations.

At an age when most people are still at the HEIGHT of teenaged dumbassery -that is totally a word- they were looking at each other over a wedding license and seeing the future of a family. […]
